Instant star from me. Looking forward to the Gnome port.

This American Life and Heavyweight

Two-horse chariot races (bigae) were held in the Campus Martius, the area of Rome named for Mars, after which the right-hand horse of the winning team was transfixed by a spear, then sacrificed. The horse’s head (caput) and tail (cauda) were cut off and used separately in the two subsequent parts of the ceremonies: two neighborhoods staged a fight for the right to display the head, and the freshly bloodied cauda was carried to the Regia for sprinkling the sacred hearth of Rome.

Alrighty then

Don’t forget Trump has only ever won once - in 2016 - and even then he lost the popular vote by 3 million. Every single major race since then - the 2018 midterms, the 2020 presidential election, the 2022 midterms - he or his endorsed candidates either outright lost or failed to live up to expectations. Don’t get me wrong, I’m as anxious as anybody else and I’ll believe it when I see it, but if I were to place a bet I’d bet he’s going to lose yet again.

Navalny most certainly wasn’t stupid. He understood what he was getting into when he got on that flight back to Russia. My guess is that he hoped his arrest and detention would spark an uprising, which sadly didn’t materialize.

I would not have made the choice he did, but I’m also not as brave as he is. Fuck Putin.

Usually it is? But ultimately it’s still your own responsibility. You did not pay the dev, the dev does not ask you to pay them, ergo the dev owes you diddly squad.

Malware is not usually open source.

I disagree, in neither scenario the open source dev owes him anything. You get to use and modify the software for free, but the flip side is you are entitled to nothing.

The aspiring leader of the free world everybody. What a joke.

You’re thinking of Eugene Goodman

If you’re on Android and use Firefox, you can use the Disable JavaScript extension to disable JS on sites with paywalls, like NYtimes. While not perfect, it works remarkably well.

Also works great on Desktop.

How would one go about doing this in, say, Tennessee?

It did. Then SCOTUS threw the presidency to Bush and commercial airliners flew into tall buildings in NY.

Agreed, it’s clearly meant as a joke.

Thank you for your service.

I always wonder what these assholes think when they’re being accused by their fellow trumpers of being antifa. Clearly they know they’re not. Does this open their eyes that maybe the right is full of shit about other wild claims too?

Yep, dat werkte, dank! Maf dat dat niet standaard is.

Much appreciated Bucky, I’ll give that a shot and will report back.

Edit: worked like a charm!

Potentially related, not sure: does anyone know how I can get touchscreen scrolling working in Firefox on a fresh Ubuntu 23.10 install? Currently it’s just selecting text and it’s driving me up the proverbial wall. Googling was unsuccessful.
